Neurosurgery Education & Outreach Network

Health Sciences North is collaborating with Critical Care Services of Ontario (CCSO) to develop a Neurosurgery Education & Outreach Network that will help to educate and disseminate neurosurgical education to hospitals within the North East Local Integration Network (NELHIN).

Currently we have a Neuro-Nurse Educator, and a Clinical Nurse Specialist – Neurosurgical Outreach who are collaborating together to provide support & educational opportunities for our non-neurosurgical hospitals.

The current group of Neurosurgery Education & Outreach Network Nurses at HSN are:
